Build a 10GbE network environment
Use the QXG-10G4SF-BCM with QNAP’s 10GbE switches to build budget-friendly high-speed network environments.
Gain up to 40 Gbps connectivity & Support Link Aggregation
With QXG-10G4SF-BCM’s four 10GbE SFP+ ports, you can aggregate bandwidth using SMB multichannel or port trunking, achieving up to 40 Gbps total throughput for your NAS. Ideal for high-speed file access and multi-user environments:
• SMB Multichannel: Multiply the available bandwidth (40 Gbps) between NAS and directly-connected clients. Suited for personal use.
• Port Trunking: Increases file access efficiency for simultaneous data access with multiple members. Recommended for users who deploy network switches in their IT infrastructure.
